Ancor che la partita sia la sola cagion d'i dolor miei, partir sempre vorrei, poi ch'al ritorno tal dolcezz'io sento che avanzo col piacer ogni tormento. |
Although the departure be the sole reason of my sufferings, I would always wish to part, for upon returning I feel such sweetness that I overcome every torment with pleasure. |
